Best Luxury Hotels in Karteros

Set on the northern coast of Crete close to the island capital, Heraklion, the beach-front resort Pnoé Breathing Life has been designed as a calming yet contemporary resort in which to enjoy the best Cretan dining experiences alongside island adventures and exceptional well-being programmes. Pnoé (translates as the breath of life in Greek) comprises 60 suites, all with private pools, and modernist décor which has been inspired by the island’s natural beauty using subdued colour palettes and materials such as wood and stone with warm earthy tones flowing throughout the communal spaces. The dining experiences here showcase Cretan cuisine at its best and focus on high-quality local produce. Guests can enjoy a fine-dining experience or something more casual such as sushi, snacks and smoothies by the pool. And an absolute must is to take in the sunset with a cocktail or two on the rooftop bar. Part of the new Greek-owned MK Hotel Collection, well-being is central to the guest experience at Pnoé and guests will have access to a variety of recovery programmes to help them achieve their well-being goals; from improving fitness, nurturing inner health or simply slowing down to reset. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Zerobody and Breathwork therapy, alongside a state-of-the-art fitness facility and a Guest Relation Service are all available to ensure a personalised experience.
